FAGOR HOT GAS GN 2/1 543 L Display Freezer with Off-Cycle Defrost

A professional display freezer built for high-volume kitchens, this unit keeps frozen goods visible while maintaining stable low temperatures. The refrigeration system circulates cold air through a forced-air mechanism, ensuring even cooling across every shelf. This method prevents hot spots and preserves the quality of stored products without requiring manual rotation or repositioning.

The operator loads the three removable GN 2/1 epoxy-coated shelves with frozen items, then sets the desired temperature between -18 °C and -22 °C using the electronic control panel. The off-cycle defrost system periodically halts cooling to allow frost to melt naturally, eliminating the need for manual defrosting cycles. LED lighting inside the cabinet illuminates the contents, while heated glass doors prevent condensation and maintain clear visibility.

The cabinet is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel inside and food-grade stainless steel outside, with rounded internal corners to simplify cleaning. The 60 mm insulation layer reduces cold loss, helping the unit maintain consistent temperatures even in busy kitchen environments. Adjustable stainless steel legs allow the freezer to be levelled on uneven floors, and the 130–200 mm height range provides clearance for cleaning underneath.

Each of the three shelves supports up to 40 kg and can be positioned at 23 different heights, accommodating various GN 2/1 containers. The 543 L volume provides ample storage for bulk frozen goods, while the 653 mm width, 842 mm depth and 2040 mm height allow the unit to fit into standard kitchen layouts without obstructing workflow.

The 0.535 kW cooling power reflects the load the freezer places on the electrical supply, requiring a dedicated 220–240 V single-phase circuit. The 152 kg weight indicates the unit must be moved with a pallet truck or similar equipment. The F energy efficiency class and off-cycle defrost system contribute to lower running costs compared to manual defrost models.

Cleaning involves removing the shelves and wiping down the stainless steel interior with a damp cloth and approved sanitiser. The rounded corners and smooth surfaces prevent dirt accumulation, while the epoxy-coated shelves resist corrosion from moisture and cleaning agents.

This model is designed for professional catering environments and is classified as a display freezer with GN 2/1 shelving compatibility. It is listed under commercial refrigeration in the FAGOR professional equipment catalogue.
